The Shaman 8×8 has a 3-litre turbo diesel engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and is fully amphibious. Developed for extreme terrain and weather conditions, it is fitted with specially designed low-pressure tyres that Streit says enables it to travel easily across marshes, lakes, and tundra.
The Shaman 8×8 is armoured, but Streit did not say what level of protection it offers or provide a weight figure for the vehicle.

The Salamander 8×8 is fitted with an 8.9-litre turbo-charged engine, has an 8×8 drive configuration, eight-speed manual transmission, and is fully amphibious. The vehicle offers STANAG Level 2/3 protection and can be fitted with a remotely operated weapon station.
The Pangolin remote controlled demining vehicle uses a flail to detonate mines buried as deep as 25 cm. The resulting cleared path is 2.2 m wide. The system can withstand the blast from a 9 kg TNT charge.
